It embeds in any LTI-compliant LMS, including Cornerstone, and syncs access through HRIS systems like SAP SuccessFactors and Workday. Your LMS keeps completion and compliance records, while Panopto handles video capture, in-video search, and secure delivery inside the tools your teams use. ## A video training tech stack for manufacturing organizations Most manufacturers run an LMS like SAP SuccessFactors, Cornerstone, or Workday. That system holds the mandated record of who completed which training and when. Replacing the LMS means taking on a corporate decision few teams want to revisit. Adding a separate video tool means a second login that operators tend to skip. Panopto connects to the LMS a manufacturer runs instead, adding video capture, search, and delivery inside the system the workforce logs into every day. The sections below answer three questions: which systems Panopto connects to, how that connection works, and what a manufacturer gets from putting it in place. ## Panopto LMS and HRIS integrations Panopto connects to a manufacturer’s systems in three ways: 1. Native integrations with a named LMS 2. Native integrations with an HRIS 3. Standards-based connection, through LTI, for any other LMS Native LMS integrations include: Cornerstone, Bridge, Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and D2L Brightspace. Native HRIS integrations for access and provisioning include: SAP SuccessFactors and Workday. Both [integrations](https://www.panopto.com/capabilities/integrations/) handle automated user provisioning and role-based access sync. Onboarding, offboarding, and permission changes happen alongside existing HR workflows. You can connect any other manufacturing LMS to Panopto through the LTI standard. So, a manufacturer running TalentLMS, Docebo, Litmos, or an in-house system can connect to Panopto through the LTI standard and single sign-on. ## How the LMS connection works Video embeds directly into the LMS course through LTI, so learners complete training in the system they use without a second sign-in. Single sign-on and role-based permissions govern access, with identity managed through SAML 2.0, Active Directory, and OAuth 2.0, and provisioning synced from the HRIS. An operator’s access follows their role, with no separate account to manage on the video side. Recordings automatically publish to a governed video library, with captions and in-video search, so content is easy to find and stays current. The LMS remains the system of record for enrollment, completion, and compliance, while Panopto works alongside it as the video engine, making training content easy to create, find, and watch. ## What a manufacturer gets from connecting Panopto to its LMS ### Keep your mandated LMS Connecting Panopto to an existing LMS removes the rip-and-replace decision that stalls most video modernization projects. A plant manager gets modern video capture and search without asking corporate to reconsider the LMS it standardized on. ### Capture process knowledge Subject matter experts with no video experience record a setup procedure or a troubleshooting fix from any device. That recording lands inside the existing learning path rather than in a separate system nobody checks. Retiring engineers and tenured operators carry process knowledge that documentation alone rarely captures, and this gives that knowledge a place to live before those employees retire. ### Support findability across sites and shifts In-video search lets an operator locate the exact step inside a long recording instead of scrubbing through it. The library spans plants and languages, so an operator on a night shift in one country finds the same answer as an operator running the equivalent line elsewhere, without waiting for a translated version or a separate training cycle. ### Provide consistent access SSO and HRIS-driven provisioning govern access centrally, so a new hire in one plant and a transferring operator in another get the same permission structure without a manual setup step for each person. [Toyoda Iron Works](https://www.panopto.com/customer-stories/toyoda-iron-works/) used this connected approach to standardize onboarding across 25 factories in 9 countries, delivering training in more than 20 languages and letting operators access the right procedure video by scanning a QR code on the equipment itself. The result: a 50% reduction in operator onboarding time and a 24% improvement in skills and certification pass rates. ### Serve more than the plant floor The same connected video system that handles plant training also carries onboarding and corporate communication across every function and site. A manufacturer avoids running a separate point tool for the floor and another for everything else, keeping governance and search consistent regardless of what the video covers. ### Keep the LMS as the record of truth Panopto’s in-video quizzes and viewer analytics show whether someone engaged with the content, while the LMS maintains the official completion and compliance record. ## Customer story: ROCKWOOL ROCKWOOL manufactures stone wool insulation and runs technical training for its engineers and technicians, with work shaped by many parameters that influence production. As Mogens Heine Larsen, Department Manager in the Process Department of Group Technology, described the challenge: “We needed to find a way to capture valuable knowledge and secure it for posterity. Many of our competent engineers, who knew our products and machines by heart, were nearing retirement age. We had insufficient documentation on the interaction between equipment and processes.” ![](https://www.panopto.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/AdobeStock_571956501-min-scaled-768x512-1.jpeg)Rather than having experts write that knowledge down, ROCKWOOL had them talk it through on video. The company used Panopto to capture that knowledge into a searchable internal video library, so institutional knowledge no longer depends on a handful of employees remembering it correctly. Today, [ROCKWOOL](https://www.panopto.com/customer-stories/rockwool/) uses Panopto to onboard new employees, train technicians and engineers on complex machinery maintenance using multiple video inputs, live stream organizational updates, and turn Microsoft Teams meetings into searchable assets. ROCKWOOL supplements courses that still meet in person with a flipped training component, so employees prepare in advance and learn faster once they arrive. As Birgitte Wilki, Administrative Coordinator, Group Technology, put it: “Employees should still have the opportunity to meet each other, see the factories, and network. But with Panopto, they can prepare for a course in advance and learn faster. Moreover, those who were not able to participate physically still have the opportunity to benefit from the courses.” ## Frequently asked questions **Does Panopto integrate with your LMS?** Yes. Panopto integrates natively with Cornerstone, Bridge, Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and D2L Brightspace, and connects to any other LTI-compliant LMS through the LTI standard and single sign-on. **Does Panopto work with SAP SuccessFactors or Workday?** Yes. Panopto connects to both platforms for identity and access management. The integrations handle provisioning and role-based access, so a person’s permissions in Panopto follow their HRIS record, without a separate manual step when someone joins, changes roles, or leaves. **Do you have to replace your LMS to use Panopto for video training?** No. Panopto connects to the LMS a manufacturer runs, and that system keeps the completion record. The video work happens inside the existing LMS course rather than in a separate platform, so adopting Panopto changes how training gets captured and found, without changing which system tracks completion. **Can Panopto connect to TalentLMS, Docebo, Litmos, or an in-house LMS?** Yes, through the LTI standard and single sign-on. LTI is an open standard, so the connection works the same way it does for Panopto’s named integrations. **How does Panopto video appear inside your LMS?** Video embeds directly into the LMS course through LTI, with no separate login required. Learners complete training in the same system they use for everything else. **Is video access secure and governed?** Access runs through SSO using SAML 2.0, Active Directory, and OAuth 2.0, with role-based permissions controlling what users can see. Panopto also holds a SOC 2 Type II attestation and supports GDPR, Section 508, and WCAG 2.1 AA. **Who keeps the record of training completion, Panopto or the LMS?** The LMS remains the system of record for enrollment and completion. Panopto adds video capture, in-video search, and viewer analytics that show engagement, while completion and compliance data continue to live in the LMS. See how Panopto connects to your LMS and makes training video searchable inside it.
